Definitions

  • the claimed invention relates to delivering private information over a communications network, and more particularly to a secure and anonymous system for transmitting private information to and from multiple client devices over a communications network.
  • Email can no longer claim to be a private mechanism for sharing information, nor is it anonymous. Further, email continues to rely on a single layer of authentication to verify a user's permission to view transmitted information. Conference calls are often private and secure, but do not offer users total anonymity. Moreover, because conference calls require all participating users to be available at the same time, it can be difficult for multiple users in different locations to coordinate.
  • the claimed invention proceeds upon the desirability of providing a more secure mechanism for transmitting private information using a client device over a communications network that offers users anonymity, whilst also authenticating user permissions to both send and receive transmitted information.
  • an object of the claimed invention is to offer users a mechanism that authenticates user permissions to send and receive private information to and from other authorized users without compromising participating users' anonymity.
  • Another object of the claimed invention is to provide users with a system that allows them to transmit and receive private information to one another over a communications network without transmitting any personally identifiable information about the users.
  • private information includes any form of content - video, text, images, audio, or any combination thereof - that is transmitted to a private repository over a communications network using a client device and is only intended to be accessible by a specific user or group of users, i.e. is not part of the public domain.
  • the claimed system and method utilizes physical items containing smart codes that store a unique Product ID that is associated with a private information repository on a server that can be accessed over a communications network.
  • the Product ID is encrypted, such that it may only be decrypted by the server in the claimed system.
  • the Product ID is a direct representation of the address of a private information repository on the server, such as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or a dynamic URL.
  • URL Uniform Resource Locator
  • the advantage of representing the Product ID in this way is that it allows users to use any smart code reader to access the private information, rather than limiting users to using the client device described herein.
  • the aforesaid physical item is at least one of the following: a pendant, a charm, a watch, a bracelet, a ring, a keychain, a poster, a greeting card, a business card, a postcard, a sticker, a party favor, an invitation, an item of clothing, a retail display, a wall signage, a souvenir item, a furniture, a decorative accessory, and a museum or exhibition display.
  • the aforesaid smart code includes the following: a barcode, a Quick Response (QR) code, a Near Field Communications (NFC) chip, a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip, an encoded image, and a Bluetooth-enabled chip.
  • QR Quick Response
  • NFC Near Field Communications
  • RFID Radio Frequency Identification
  • users transmit private information using a client device to an information repository over a communications network by scanning the smart code on a physical item that contains an encrypted Product ID that is associated with the aforesaid repository on the server.
  • the client device encrypts the captured information and transmits it over a communications network for storage in the aforesaid repository.
  • no personally identifiable information is included in the transmission of the private information in order to ensure that the source of the transmission remains anonymous.
  • users retrieve private information using a client device from an information repository over a communications network by scanning the smart code on a physical item that contains the address of the aforesaid repository.
  • the client device sends an access request containing the Product ID to the server over a communications network.
  • the server decrypts the transmitted Product ID, identifies the associated repository on the server, retrieves the private information stored in the identified repository, encrypts the information, and transmits it over a communications network for display on the user's client device screen.
  • the server upon receiving an access request, temporarily stores a client device identifier that serves as the destination for the private information that is retrieved from the appropriate repository. Once the requested private information has been successfully delivered to the client device over a communications network, the server destroys the identifier, along with any record of the transmission.
  • users must scan the smart code on the associated physical item using their client device before they can either transmit or retrieve private information.
  • the smart code serves as a secondary layer of authentication, as users are not able to transmit or retrieve private information without possessing the physical item that contains the smart code.
  • the smart code also ensures that transmitted private information is delivered to the correct repository without requiring any information that could personally identify a user.
  • each user is provided with a client device that comprises a client processor, a screen, a code reader/decoder, a local memory, a network connection utility, and information capture tools.
  • Information capture tools in the client device include a camera for recording video, a microphone for recording audio, a keyboard for capturing text, and a utility that retrieves preexisting information from either the device's local storage or an external storage device.
  • the client device when information is transmitted over a communications network using the client device, only the information captured by the device is transmitted. No personally identifiable information is included with the transmission, so as to preserve users' anonymity. Moreover, in an exemplary embodiment of the claimed invention, the client device does not store any information in its local memory that could personally identify the user.
  • each client device possesses three operating modes - read, write-to-one, and write-to-many - that allow the user to perform different tasks.
  • the client device retrieves the private information that is stored in the repository connected to the physical item and displays it on the client device screen.
  • the client device allows the user to transmit private information entered using the aforesaid information capture tools.
  • the client device when switched to the write-to-many operating mode, the client device allows the user to transmit the same private information to multiple repositories by scanning the smart code on each associated physical item before capturing the information to be transmitted on their client device.
  • a user can use a client device's write-to-many operating mode to set the address stored in multiple smart codes to that of one shared private information repository and distribute the products containing the aforesaid smart codes to all users that require authorization to transmit or receive information from the aforesaid repository. In doing so, the user can create their own system for anonymously exchanging private information over a communications network with a closed group of users.
  • a system for securely delivering private information to and from multiple client devices over a communications network comprises a plurality of client devices connected to the communications network, a plurality of physical items, and a plurality of private information repositories connected to the communications network.
  • Each product is uniquely associated with a private information repository connected to a communications network.
  • Each product comprises a smart code with a unique Product ID encoded therein.
  • Each private information repository in the system is part of a server that comprises a server processor and a storage device for storing a plurality of private information repositories. The server receives access requests to view the information in a repository and transmission requests to add information to a repository from the plurality of client devices over the communications network.
  • the server processor authenticates the private information repository address using the Product ID included in each access request to determine the identity of the repository and transmits the stored private information to the client device that initiated the access request over the communications network.
  • the server processor authenticates the private information repository address using the Product ID included in each transmission request to determine the identity of the repository and appends the transmitted information to the aforesaid repository.
  • each user must be provided with a client device, as described herein, and a physical product containing a smart code that points to the same private information repository on the server. Users must switch their client device to the appropriate operating mode before scanning the smart code on the physical item in their possession. Every user with a matching physical item is subsequently able to both transmit private information to the same private information repository and retrieve the aggregate information that is stored in the repository over a communications network.
  • users can destroy the information stored in the private repository using the client device if necessary. Users can also save a copy of the information retrieved from a private repository to their client device. Further, in accordance with an embodiment of the claimed invention, a user that creates a new repository can also set a limit on the number of access requests fulfilled by the server on the repository.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système destiné à faciliter la transmission sécurisée et anonyme d'informations privées vers et depuis de multiples dispositifs clients sur un réseau de communication. Des produits physiques contenant des codes intelligents servent de mécanisme destiné à la fois à l'authentification d'une autorisation de l'utilisateur pour échanger des informations et à la localisation du référentiel d'informations approprié sur un serveur. Chaque transaction d'informations implique la transmission d'un identifiant de produit chiffré unique qui est apparié à un référentiel unique sur le serveur. Le serveur décrypte l'identifiant de produit et l'utilise pour localiser le référentiel approprié, avant d'effectuer diverses actions demandées, comprenant l'ajout d'informations au référentiel, la transmission des informations au dispositif client effectuant la demande, la destruction d'informations sauvegardées dans le référentiel, la sauvegarde d'une copie des informations contenues dans le référentiel sur le dispositif client, et l'établissement d'une limite sur le nombre de demandes de récupération pouvant être satisfaites par le serveur sur le référentiel.
